Today, May 2, 2023, at 3 a.m. Eastern Time, Fortnite update v24.30 is set to start. The devs are starting things an hour earlier than normal, similar to the last significant upgrade. This makes sense given the enormous breadth of the extra information. But as Epic Games has stated, the Star Wars collaboration will be the day’s high point.
The servers will be taken offline at least 30 minutes in advance of the outage, which will begin at 3 am Eastern Time, and at the latest by 2:30 am Eastern Time. Players in all modes should log off no later than 2:15 am Eastern Time to prevent losing progress. So how long will the outage be today, please?

Since April 11, 2023, this is the first significant upgrade, therefore the outage can be prolonged. The servers might be down for a maximum of three hours, based on approximate estimations. Players who wake up today and want to check out the new Star Wars content will be able to do so without difficulty because the outage should end at 6 am Eastern Time.
To be as efficient as possible, Epic Games has shortened the procedure even though the update will have a lot of material. Keep in mind, though, that the downtime might last longer than anticipated.

The majority of the new material coming to the game will be tied to Star Wars, according to leakers and data miners. First off, a mysterious male cosmetic set together with the eagerly anticipated Anakin Skywalker Cosmetic Set will be introduced to the Item Shop. For the collaboration, two additional cosmetic sets will be added.
The treasure pool will receive new Force Mythic weapon types. They will give users Force powers like Lift, Jump, Lightning, Pull, Push, Rip, Script, and Vacuum when activated. A new kind of blaster will also be introduced, along with the reintroduction of lightsabers and E-11 Blaster Rifles.
The partnership could include the Rift Gate, according to information discovered in the files some time ago. It has been suggested that it would be rebuilt after Fortnite update 24.30. Last but not least, there will be holograms of Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and the new figure Cirrus Vine somewhere on the island.

Regarding issues and glitches, the Fortnite update v24.30 is expected to solve a number of them. Tree movement will be restricted, the unlimited Dab Emote in the Lobby will become unlimited, and the Back Bling floating bug linked to Highwire (a member of The Unseen) will be rectified.
Last but not least, the proper number of resources will once again be provided by Large Rocks on Battle Royale Island, and Kinetic Blade’s Dash ability will be adjusted for Android users. There are a few more small changes that will be made, but for the time being, these are the most crucial ones.
